Vera Zvyagintseva

Vera Klavdievna Zvjaginceva or Zvyagintseva (Russian: Вера Клавдиевна Звягинцева; 1894-1972) was a Russian actress, poet, translator and memoirist.

[2] Zvyagintseva was friends with many artists and writers, including Marina Tsvetaeva, Sophia Parnok,[3] and Boris Pasternak.

[5] In summer 1933 Zvyagintseva was ill with acute colitis and dysentery.

Sophia Parnok, herself in the last year of her life, wrote to her lover about Zvyagintseva: I feel very sad not to be taking care of her when she's so unwell!

If she passed away, it would be a big blow to me – I would lose a poet who is close to me and a friend to whom i have confided my amorous woes.
